I'd rather him have the extra year of eligibility on the back end anyway.

Just received a mailer for next year season tix and it says that he has 3 years of eligibility. I thought the reason he enrolled early was so he didn't lose any? This sounds like prop 48...can he earn the 4th year back? Says Minnesota was his other option.

I think they will have to apply for the 4th/5th year at some point. Hard to say without knowing specifically what the issue is.

Exactly, they can't SAY he's got 4 yrs, but if he takes care of classwork he will be able to apply and likely get the 4th year to play in his 5th.

Yes.

The confusion is whether he'll have 3 or 4 years of eligibility. He'll likely have 4, but it sounds like that year will have to be petitioned for.

He passes the "eye test" that's for sure, scary if he has the skills to back that up.

He had better skills around the basket (back-to and face-up) than Hare as of the Blue-White scrimmage last Fall.

Deff looks the part. Interesting that rothstein put that out. I'm sure it came straight from DH.

Dan is always quick to remind media (and anyone else) about Onyekaba's impact on the team starting next season when the 3 transfers seem to get all the attention.
